Research

SONYA is a research center that brings together diverse perspectives and disciplines to study the relationships between society and the environment. Our work contributes to both empirical and fundamental research on socio-environmental dynamics, with the aim of supporting a transition toward a sustainable society through teaching and participation in societal debates.

We use a wide range of methods (both quantitative and qualitative) and approach issues from a systemic and holistic perspective that connects the micro and macro levels. Our research focuses in particular on environmental governance, transitions toward just and sustainable societies, environmental mobilizations, life cycle analysis, environmental impacts, and ecological economics.

We collaborate with numerous research centers in both the Global North and the Global South, and strive to create a reflective, open, and supportive environment within the University by promoting decent and collaborative work.
